Entomologist in Sichuan Tang Clan Chapter 272

272
– Knock knock.

It felt like there was glue on the joints.

As I moved my hands, I heard something snapping at each of my finger joints.

“Ugh.”

As I groaned without realizing it, Seol’s and Hwa-eun’s urgent voices followed.

“Dragon!”

“Little dragon!”

“Come on, Hwa-eun!”

“Yes, sis!”

“Seo, Seol, sister?”

And then the massage follows.

Perhaps it was the touch of Hwa-eun and Seol’s sisters, four hands kneading my body as if they were kneading rice cakes.

-Knock knock. Knock knock.

The creaking sound of joints every time their hands rubbed the body.

I tried to open my eyes, but the light was so bright that I couldn’t.

When I closed my eyes and checked my body condition because my joints and eyes seemed to be out of order, my sister Seol spoke in a worried voice.

“Are you okay, Dragon? I couldn’t touch your body because I thought you might get a magic wand because your level was rising, but it took too long this time. I’ll slowly bend your legs, so tell me if it hurts.”

“Ugh… How long did it take? Ugh.”

-Knock knock.

A strong feeling of resistance in the legs.

When I asked with my jaw joints moving, I heard an absurd answer.

“It took a month!”

“A month?”

Oh my goodness, it’s been a month.

I just spent the day in my mind, and almost twice as much time as usual had passed.

I didn’t realize it because I usually just connect with the imagination, but it seemed like a day in the imagination was probably a month in real life.

It’s not like the room where time flows slowly, which you see in some manga from a previous life, but rather an image of time flowing 30 times faster.

I thought to myself that from now on, if something comes up that requires me to get out of bed, I have to do it right away.

When I came out after a month, my body was like this, so I thought that if I stayed longer, something would go wrong somewhere in my body.

‘I have to be careful with this from now on, or I’ll be in big trouble.’

As I was thinking to myself that I should be careful about spending time in my head from now on, I suddenly felt a strange sensation.

Two of the hands stroking me made their presence known clearly.

He was pressing down on my body even harder, as if to tell me to know that he was here.

Of course, I could tell who the owner of that hand was.

Because if it weren’t for Hwa-eun, I wouldn’t have been able to send such a gesture.

‘Oh my! This is a mess. I guess he’s really pissed off after being anxious for another month?’

Now that I think about it, even though I woke up, Hwa-eun didn’t say anything to me other than calling my name.

First, I opened my eyes and looked at Hwa-eun.

“Ugh… Hwa-eun?”

“yes?”

Hwa-eun pretends to be sick and calls out to him, but only then does she answer.

But the short answer tells us that he is very angry.

He said it in the most apologetic voice possible.

“I was wrong. I’m sorry.”

Then, immediately, Hwa-eun’s question was heard.

“What did I do wrong?”

‘Ugh!’

I was suddenly speechless at Hwa-eun’s question asking what I did wrong.

This is, to borrow the words of the Internet sages of a past life, ‘I was deeply hurt by your mistake, so please heal my heart.’

In reality, it wasn’t like I was asking for an answer, and the chances of me, a man, being able to answer Hwa-eun’s question satisfactorily were close to zero.

I thought this might be the answer, but since I had no way out, I decided to try an answer I found on the internet in my past life.

It was an answer that required a lot of courage, but the wise man of my previous life said that there was no better answer than this.

‘Please get through. Please.’

I answered cautiously, hoping that the words that move a woman’s heart would remain the same no matter what era or world changes.

“What hurt Hwa-eun’s feelings so much?”

When you answer like that and there is no response, and you feel like you just gave me goosebumps, the hand becomes much gentler.

Hwa-eun’s hands became very gentle and her shy voice flowed out.

“Well, how dare you say such embarrassing things…”

‘Does this work?’

Although his tone was shy and a little displeased, his touch was much gentler.

It didn’t seem like it was completely resolved, but it was a moment where I felt a sense of relief because I felt like the comment had been well-received.

Seol said, grumbling.

“You don’t really care whether this sister is here or not? I’ll just fold the papers right where I am.”

“Sister!”

“Sister, aren’t you deaf?”

When Hwa-eun felt embarrassed at Seol’s words and stroked her cheek, Seol’s sister asked her a question.

“By the way, Soryong, why did it take so long this time? What happened inside your mind? This has never happened before, right?

“Golden Crown King Cheongyu also woke up a little while ago, unlike before. Why did the other children wake up much earlier than you?”

“Oh, that’s it. Just a moment.”

First, before answering Sister Seol, I tried to recall the things I had remembered in my head.

‘Let’s take a look and see how much you remember. So, the spy of the Odokmun that is active in the Central Plains, the Red Blood Group of Sacheon Province······. Huh? What is it? What is it that makes it come to mind so vividly?’

I eventually gave up on memorizing everything and decided to only remember the important things, but strangely enough, all the information came back to me vividly.

Even when I tried to recall it roughly, it was a situation where even things I couldn’t memorize came to mind vividly.

His eyes widened in surprise.

‘What kind of harmony is this? Could it be that the time that passed so quickly is the time I memorized inside times 30?’

When I looked at my sister Seol with a surprised expression, she tilted her head.

“why?”

Seol smiled at her sister’s question.

Because I was excited.

I thought that if I told her what I had memorized in my mind, Sister Seol would praise me very much.

Hwa-eun would certainly be pleased to know that I have found out such advanced information.

If this was the great cause that caused you a month of mental anguish, then of course I would forgive you.

The most threatened by the Blood and O-Dok-Moon was the Tang family, and this was information that would keep the Tang family safe.

“Ah, when I entered the palace, King Cheongyu of Geumgwansa and Sojeo of Cheongyu were waiting for me. When I asked them, they said that they were both inside King Cheongyu of Geumgwansa. That’s why I was a little late because I had to ask Sojeo of Cheongyu about the location of the Blood Cult and the Five Poison Sect and who the Five Poison Sect spies who were active in the Central Plains were.

And I was also able to hear a bit about the Odokguiwonsingong.”

“What? That woman was in your mind?”

“Yes. So I was able to hear a lot of valuable information.”

“Wow, that’s really amazing. They say she eats the souls of the dead, but I never thought that woman would really be inside the Golden Crown Prince.”

When I heard my words, my sister was surprised and then amazed again.

A sudden feeling of goosebumps.

‘What, what is it? Why am I suddenly feeling chills?’

As I shivered, feeling as if something was really wrong with my body, Hwa-eun’s cool heart was transmitted to me.

‘So-ryong, so you were late because you were fooling around with that woman?’

‘oh my god!’

‘yes?’

‘Yes? No, so it’s not Nodak, but the Blood Cult and the Odokmun······.’

I should have known that this could be interpreted this way, I dug my own grave.

That was absolutely not the case, and I explained with all my heart and sincerity that I had really concentrated and memorized the information for the future of the Central Plains and the future of the Tang family.

But the question that Hwa-eun asks at the end.

‘I understand that, but then how did you get out of the image? If there were two people in the image, wouldn’t you have been unable to get out without connecting them both?’

‘Oh, that’s···.’

At the end, I was thinking of keeping the kiss on my forehead by the human Cheong-yu a secret from Hwa-eun, but Hwa-eun already knew how the story would go without me having to tell her.

At that moment, I knew I was in big trouble, and it occurred to me that not only was my true feelings being conveyed, but that there must be something like a camera installed in my brain by Hwa-eun.

‘How do you know so much when you haven’t even seen it? Gyaaaah!’

***

I explained for about an hour that it was an unavoidable and unavoidable situation and was barely forgiven.

Even though he was annoyed, Hwa-eun didn’t stop her hand because she was worried about his body, so he walked out of the cabin with his body relaxed.

Then, a bonfire in the distance comes into view.

It was evening, and dinner preparations were probably in full swing.

The spectators were still making creaking noises, but it was time to get moving.

As I cautiously moved towards the campfire, surprised people welcomed me.

“Dragon, are you awake?”

“Have you come to your senses?”

“Oh, Gyu-seong-nim. Yes, a little while ago.”

And the kids running towards them.

-Kissit!

-Tsrrrr.

-Kkuku!

-Beep!

The children I hadn’t seen in a long time ran into my arms without hesitation.

The incense and the beans.

And Seol, Bing, Dong-i, Hwayang, Yohwa, Hongdan, Cheongwol, and even Cheongyu, who came out of the dream together with me.

Everyone rushed in, licked the ball, and crawled up onto the body.

“Yeah, you missed the guys?”

-Kishishi!

-Tsrrrr.

It was after everyone had hugged each other or patted each other on the head once in a while.

Suddenly I realized that there were two guys who were invisible.

“By the way, I don’t see Yeondoo and Juhwang?”

‘Oh, I can’t even see the heat?’

I realized that the green and orange colors were not visible.

Even the bomb dust bugs and heatstroke.

The feeling on your shoulder as you look around.

When I turned my head, the demon was pointing to one side.

“They’re over there?”

-Kissit!

The building pointed to by the fairy is the largest building among the buildings that the pirates left unfinished.

It was a place where only the roof went up and there were only two walls, so I headed in that direction wondering what they would do there.

If Yeondoo and Juhwang were alone, I wouldn’t have gone to see them having a good time, but it seemed like Yeolbi was with them too.

“Yeondu? Orange? Yeolbi?”

As we approached, calling out to the three of us, Orange popped his head out from inside the building.

The guy who quickly approached me gently patted my body here and there with his tail as if to ask if I was okay.

-Scar?

I nodded because it seemed like he was asking if it was okay.

“Yeah, I’m fine. But what were you doing here?”

In response to my question, Orange wrapped his tail around my wrist and led me toward the building where he was sticking his head out.

-Skaa.

As I entered the place, dragged by the guy, an unexpected scene caught my eye.

There were several animals inside that I had never seen before.

No, to be exact, should I say they are mammals or birds of the same species?

A large, mountain goat-like creature as big as a horse, and a white clouded leopard that appears to be a real creature and not an albino.

A bird that looks like a pheasant, but is much more colorful.

And there was a red bat hanging from a tree inside the half-built building.

“What? Did you bring your friends?”

When I asked if he had brought his friends, Orange shook his head.

The guy tapped a nearby squirrel with his tail.

“Oh, so you brought your subordinates and younger siblings?”

-Skaa!

The guy only nods when I ask him again.

This guy is bright and perceptive, so I thought he might be helpful to me if I brought his younger siblings, but I ended up making a big mistake.

“Are these all the spirits living in this village?”

-Scar!

I asked him in case there was another guy, but was a little disappointed when he said there weren’t any more, but I still praised him.

Even though they weren’t very helpful to me, I thought Seol would like them.

Well, I thought you already knew that.

“Oh, thank you, but… I guess I’ll have to leave those to Sister Seol. I like poisonous things like snakes and insects, just like you.”

-Scar!?

A guy who is embarrassed by my words.

He said, patting the guy on the back.

“Well done, anyway.”

When I was about to leave after giving Orange plenty of praise so that he wouldn’t be discouraged, his knees creaked.

-Knock knock.

“Oh my. My knees···.”

Since it seemed like it would be difficult to walk any longer, I decided to call Chohwa Hyang for help.

『

“Hey, Choya, can you bring some fragrance over here?”

“Little Dragon, I sent it to the wrong person. You should send it to Cho.”

-Tsuru. (Dad, is that a scent?)

-Beep. (Food?)

-Tsurut. (Dad? You called me?)

-Sia? (What is this?)

』

But the moment I sent my heart telling Hyang-i to come here, I heard numerous replies.

One after another, questions poured out toward each other.

『

“Really? Choni?”

-Tsuru. (Huh, Mom?)

-Tsurut? (Mom!?)

-Krrrrung. (What is this?)

』

My mind started spinning and one thought occurred to me.

As I reached the level of the Four Poisons, the level of the Beast’s Heart also rose, and it seemed like a group chat room opened in my heart.
